Easy EA Bio increase: An easy way to increase your Bio is to first
end a career mode season. Then, save the season before selecting "New
Season" at the top. After you have saved, go to the new season. As soon
as you are done with re-rolling the stats (optional), the EA Bio bar
will appear. Choose to save on that bar (only happens without autosave).
Do not save the season, then exit. Return into your career and it should
be back to where you can start the next season. Start the next season
and repeat the process. After you have tried it a few times go into "My
Nascar", select "Bio", and enter the recent history. In the recent
history, it should show that you have finished two seasons in one day
and the same car.
Faster car: To get a faster car in any mode, hold the Left Analog-stick
in the direction that you are driving.
Night tracks: Go to season mode and then to "Custom Schedule". You
can unlock night races for the day tracks.
Alternate night tracks: Win the race that has a locked version of
an alternate night track under the veteran difficulty, 3% race length,
and damage on visual only. Repeat this method on all tracks that have a
locked version of it.
Road courses: To unlock a road course for Texas, Talladega,
Pocono, Phoenix, Homestead or Daytona, race the original track on the
medium or veteran difficulty. 3% is the easiest race length and the
fastest.
Fantasy and night tracks and cars: Go to season mode. Choose
custom for tracks. Then, choose locked tracks on medium. You can race at
whichever locked track you choose. if you win race, you unlock a
track. if you also have a locked car, you also win the first locked car.
Easy All Star race and Bud Shootout: Instead reaching the EA Bio
levels for the All-Star race and the Shootout, just race a season under
veteran at 3 or more % race length, damage on visual only, and brake and
steering help, and win those races.
To get into the All Star race, win the Daytona 500 (in career mode). You
will be in the All Star until you "retire".
Easy win: On a longer race, race backwards and try to take every
racer out. Make sure they are in flames. Pause game play and check the
"Race Stats" periodically to see who is still on the track. Then, turn
back around and race with no competition. Note: When you are checking
the Race Stats, if you see "Off" under any racer, that indicates that
they will be in the pits for a long period of time.
Driving locked car part: In multi player mode, you can drive a
locked car. This only works with one person at a time. Have a player
choose their car, then have the other player go to the same car. Have
them change to a locked car. After that, they can choose their car.
Drive same car: In two player mode, have someone pick a created
car then have the other player go to that car. They can also choose it.
When you race, both players will be driving the same cars.
